How do I preach when I am not sure what I believe anymore?

You can move a whole congregation, and inside you are quietly wrestling with what you still hold to be true. That gap between the certainty you offer and the doubt you carry is a heavy, lonely place to stand. But hear this: doubt is not the death of faith. Often it is faith growing up, shedding easy answers for something more honest.\nThe people who have never doubted have usually never thought very hard. Your questions are not a betrayal of your calling. They may be the most sincere part of it. What matters is not that you have banished all doubt, but that you are honest with yourself about where you actually stand, and that you do not preach as certain what you no longer believe. Integrity does not require certainty. It requires truthfulness.\nSo you do not have to resolve everything to keep serving. Preach from what still rings true to you, even if that ground is smaller than it once was. And find one trusted person, a mentor or fellow traveler, with whom you can be fully honest about the wrestling. Doubt carried alone curdles. Doubt shared with one wise soul can become a deeper faith. Reach out to that person.
